You can rent a vehicle in Washington if you are at least 21. Please note you will most likely be charged an additional fee if you are younger than 25. Moreover, for higher categories, such as premium, large capacity vehicles, or SUVs, the age restrictions can be different. Check with the rental car company before you book.
You'll find 9 rental car companies at the Washington Airport. Rent from companies like Advantage, Hertz, National, and Budget, plus several more. With so many fantastic options, you are sure to get the price and the car that you desire.
In Washington you do need to have insurance before you rent a car. You can purchase additional insurance through your supplier, if you know your insurance won't cover your rental during your trip. Many of the major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover) typically offer coverage. However, many of them have prohibitions, such as not covering large vehicles, like trucks or SUVs. Make sure to find out exactly what your credit card will cover before you head to Washington. Additionally, as a U.S. citizen, you can add on Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.
When marking off your must-have items for the Washington vacation, present your driver's permit and a credit card in your name.
At CarRentals.com, we suggest a "full-to-full" policy. You receive the vehicle with a full tank, and you will want to fill it back up before you return. To avoid any added expenses, it is best to find a filling station before you return the car. Stations near or around airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.
Washington has over half a million people, which probably means this city is busy enough for a bit of adventure. You may not want to worry about your miles if you are wanting to see the sights or see what else Washington has to offer. Whatever you pick to do first, you'll want unlimited miles to check out as much of Washington as possible while on your trip.
The majority of rental car suppliers typically offer one-way rentals. You may find it more convenient to return your rental car at another location. Don't forget there is typically an additional fee when you pick one-way.
That depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Washington. Smaller cars are easier to park and good for short commutes. If you are traveling with colleagues or family, then a sedan or SUV is going to have enough room for all of you and offer a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a dash of luxury on their Washington trip can choose the premium category for a car like a Cadillac or Audi or similar.
